As in her federal filing, the state filing "did not include any allegation that hacking had actually occurred," Diamond wrote.

Also, we shouldn't forget that Stein completely missed the original deadline for an AUTOMATIC recount of the whole state that wouldn't have required any judge's ruling. By the time she got her act together, the only options she had were to file for a recount precinct by precinct or to file this lawsuit. She waited till the day before the deadline to even ask for the needed volunteers for the recounts by precinct, so only got a tiny fraction of what was needed.
